Microsoft Office Outlook Team Blog : The Power of Word in Outlook

by srcmax
This morning we became aware of a Twitter campaign run from the website http://fixoutlook.org. This campaign is intended to provide Microsoft with feedback about our decision to continue to use Microsoft Word for composing and displaying e-mail in the upcoming release of Microsoft Outlook 2010. The Email Standards Project, which developed the website that promotes the current Twitter campaign, is backed by the maker of “email marketing campaign” software.

WhereCamp / Proximity and Relative Location

by karlcow

A session talking about what people can/are doing with proximity sensing (and how/why in many cases, locative services aren't about absolute (geo) location, but relative location. Covering implementation and code of Bluetooth in particular, including information on the setup I used at Where 2.0 and WhereCamp 2008. (The morning session already covered lots of concerns about privacy that are applicable here, so this session will focus on cool stuff you can do and how to get out there and do it)

Obama | One People

by tisienpo
The City illustrates the emotional flow of the Presidential Inauguration in Washington, D.C. Through an analysis of the number of mobile phone calls made in Washington D.C. on Inauguration Day and the home state or country of phone origin, it is possible to see peaks of call activity as the crowd anticipates President Obama's oath, a drop in call activity as the crowd listens to his inaugural address, and peaks again as the crowd celebrates the inauguration of the new President. Through their cell phones, those present at the historic event share their impressions with friends and family in vast numbers: on the morning of January 20th, call activity is two to three times stronger than usual, and it rises to five times the normal levels after 2 pm as President Obama takes his oath and people begin to celebrate.

Pastel town

Flash - Incredibly realistic coffee smoke effect

by Spone
I drink good coffee every morning. Today, coffee is one of the most popular beverages worldwide, so I have decided to make and show you how to create incredibly realistic coffee smoke effect. Using this very advanced and realistic effect, you will see how to draw smoke shape, how to animate it, how to convert it into a Movie Clip Symbol, how to apply alpha effect on it and much more. You don't have to use action script code to make this lesson. Let's go!

actualité boursière, marché financier, économie française : Challenges

by jallatte

Selon le bureau d'études Aurel reprenant les propos du journal chinois "South China Morning Post", le fonds souverain "China Investment Corp" s'intéresserait aux groupes de luxe afin d'y prendre une participation pouvant aller jusqu'à 10% du capital. Les groupes LVMH, PPR et Richemont sont notamment cités.

Une telle éventualité sera regardée avec attention par les actionnaires majoritaires de ces groupes. D'un coté, ils seront sans doute réticents de voir un unique actionnaire détenir une part significative de leur capital avec l'incertitude sur la durée de la détention des actio ns et d'un autre coté, au regard du poids grandissant des consommateurs chinois dans leurs chiffre d'affaires respectifs, il peut s'agir d'une occasion pour tisser des relations étroites avec les autorités chinoises et saisir des opportunités de développement, explique le broker.

This project was motivated by two things: my almost complete inability to get out of bed in the morning, and my fondness for recording data from routine activities and making graphs with that data.

Overqualified: Thursday, March 5th 2009

by greut

Cover letters are all the same. They're useless. You write the same lies over and over again, listing the store-bought parts of yourself that you respect the least. God knows how they tell anyone apart, but this is how it's done.

And then one day a car comes out of nowhere, and suddenly everything changes and you don't know if he'll ever wake up. You get out of bed in the morning, and when you sit down to write another paint-by-numbers cover letter, something entirely different comes out.

You start threatening instead of begging. You tell impolite jokes. You talk about your childhood and your sexual fantasies. You sign your real name and you put yourself honestly into letter after letter and there is no way you are ever going to get this job. Not with a letter like this.

And you send it anyway.

Near Future Laboratory » Blog Archive » The Map Is Here For You To Use

by karlcow

Departing Madrid early on a Sunday morning, I found this paper map of the Metro, tucked neatly within the seams of a pre-fab wall, ready for re-use. I wondered, who was on their way out of Madrid, thinking that they could not in good conscience throw away their worn map, looking about for a way to pass it along to another visitor.

Another instance of a Thoughtful Act.

Why do I blog this? Sudden interest in observing improvisatory social practices which are signals of a sort, not always of a “service” or designed object to adopt that practice into a commodified instantiation. But sometimes merely a curiosity that helps us better understand who we/people are, like waypoints along a contour of individual and collective humanities.

the interesting thing with the map offered here is that it is an pseudo anonymous gift. At an instant t when the map has been put, the local people around the person may have identified the gesture and see the person (unlikely but let's say they have at least seen the act) BUT the people who will benefit of it in the further instant have probably no connection at all with the source.

A signature (automatic or not) defines a contract that tie to all kind of responsibilities and legibility which are not necessary beneficial for the group as large. The anonymous nature is defined by the time span and the a-connection between the two events (giving the map/receiving the map). Both gestures will be locally identified but the odds of being connected very small. On the Web, the odds of connection are very high and change completely the social dynamics of giving and sharing information. The network has a "memory" of the context.

Contract for Difference Trading - CFD

by polyxena
CFDs are to be avoided, on stocks, equities, anything and everything - it’s one small step away from spread betting and if you want to end up like those dumbasses who spreadbet on the FTSE opening every morning, fine, go ahead…

Official Google Blog: "This site may harm your computer" on every search result?!?!

by srcmax (via)
If you did a Google search between 6:30 a.m. PST and 7:25 a.m. PST this morning, you likely saw that the message "This site may harm your computer" accompanied each and every search result. This was clearly an error, and we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to our users.

Reading from a smartphone, the smart way | Monday Note

by night.kame

Why not push the idea a little further? Let’s imagine. I’m a reader of, say, The Guardian, Le Monde or the Norwegian VG. And I want to consume my online paper during my morning commute. My iPhone (or any future similar device) is set to wake up at 7h00 sharp and download my favorite web sites’ latest updates.

Ca s'appelle AvantGo, et on l'utilisait en 2000. Une bonne phrase dans l'article néanmoins :

Anytime/anywhere broadband availability exists only in Google’s imagination.
